I was flipping through the channels and was completely disinterested. I've noticed that I spend more time watching the Weather Channel these days than all the others. I am getting old; or maybe just being a geek. Anyway, I flipped onto the community access channel. It usually has some really...

Is there an authoritative reference or book about American Civil War weaponry? Perhaps specifically by Union Armies and even regiments. Something along the lines of Jane's books.

I was thinking that I better get used to the idea of carrying around my "heavy artillery". Although I don't like lugging around my Government frame 1911 in 10mm, due to recent events around the country it might be a good idea. At least just to get passed my reservation about carrying around such...

I was going through some old stacks of magazines and came across this. As I reread the article, I thought it was an excellent summary of how things have transpired in Afghanistan to the present day. The author is one of the few journalists out there that I consider to be "cool". "Massoud" in...

Any shotgunners here think that the cast of a shotgun makes that much of a difference? Or do you prefer a neutral cast on the stock? On a shotgun stock with a cast-off, is the recoil really more concentrated to the shoulder pocket rather than the face as is the intention of the design?

Firearms safety cannot be stressed enough. I think all of us here are practitioners and advocates of that. Here is a dramatic example of things gone terribly wrong.

I have been comparing the specs. of the Browning Cynergy and the Ruger Red Label O/U shotguns. They are obviously both solid choices. I was wondering if anyone can offer an objective critique of each if they have any experience with them. Basically, I just want to know if it is worth...

Hi all, a friend sent me this. He usually sends me taunting emails but occasionally he sends a really cool one like this. Thought I'd share. An incredible find.

Hi guys, was thinking about picking one up. What are your thoughts on this pistol?

I think they are as ugly as sin. But looking at them from an engineering/performance point of view rather than an aesthetic point of view, I think I can behold the beauty. I know Kel-Tec is coming out with a new design very soon. It will be chambered in all the popular mil-spec rifle calibers-...

I was thinking about getting a magnum chambered rifle. I have no experience with magnum cartridges so this will be new to me. I want to give extreme range shooting a try. So something along the lines of a .338-378 might be on call. I know, it is considered a wildcat cartridge. Sort of exotic I...

Does anybody own one yet? Thoughts about it? I am looking for a DA/SA .45ACP semi-auto, and this fits the bill perfectly.

Haven't started a thread in a while. But I was wondering about this and this is the best place to ask. I know that in many industries, there is no such thing as permanence. The firearms industry is no different. Why does it seem that there are well established names in the industry that...

I know Carrylok is Bianchi's brandname for holsters with a locking mechanism. I was wondering if anyone has experience with these types. Are they really reliable? Do they hold up?

I've been meaning to ask this question on the boards for a while now. So here goes. Gun crimes are a complex issue. The media and certain legislators have their views on what should pass to curtail gun violence. I do believe there obviously must be some laws in purchasing a firearm. The...

I was thinking that considering the rising cost of ammunition, maybe this a good alternative to get my marksman jones. Considering I'm a lefty, how deep am I going to get financially? I mentioned getting into archery to a guy at the gunshop and he knew I was a lefty and he said not to do it...

Well, so far the only movie I've seen this year has been "300". Which got a thumbs up from me. This one looks promising. With Robert Zemeckis at the helm it should be a good one. Beowulf

How much to V-comp a Smith & Wesson revolver? I would also like an unfluted cylinder.

Is the USFA Colt .45s really worth their price? Are they +P rated? How do the fit and finish compare to say a Ruger? I am looking for something special. Not so mass-production as a Ruger. I don't have the funds for a Freedom Arms revolver, so I think the USFA would be about right.

Why does H&K USA no longer import the Expert model? Makes no sense to me.
